Does temperature affect popping time of bubbles?

Hypothesis

The colder temperature will have a shorter popping time than in a warm temperature.

General Plan

First, I will take the temperature of the space I am using in degrees Celsius. Then, I will resume to the blowing of bubbles. I will use a stopwatch to count how many seconds the bubbles will stay in the air. I will record the data on a piece if paper and copy it on to my wiki spaces. When I have completed my science fair wiki space, I will put all of my data and paragraphs from my wiki space on to the poster.

Potential Problems And Solutions

The bubbles could not be the same size.

Safety Or Environmental Concerns

bubble liquid could get in to my eye. I could slip and fall if the bubbles make the floor slippery.

Experimental Design

Make sure the stop watch is ready to begin taking the time. Press the START button and blow a bubble. Time how long the bubble stays unpopped. Once the bubble has popped, press the STOP button. Take the temperature of that current spot and record all of the data. Repeat twice in the same climate. Conduct the experiment in at least three different temperature places.

Conclusion

Does temperature effect the popping time of bubbles? No, it doesn't. I tried multiple trials and found that whether you are in a cold or warm place, I found that you can still blow bubbles. whether it is 70 or 40 degrees out, you can still blow bubbles but they will not have different popping times. Basically, it depends on what bubbles your are blowing. It also depends on if the place you are blowing bubbles has wind or not. Bubbles are not effected by temperature, more or less is effected by the place you are at.

Discussion

No, temperature does not effect popping time of bubbles. If you are in a cold or warm temperature, it doesn't matter. The popping time just depends on the bubble itself or the area that you are in. My hypothesis was incorrect. I had thought that the colder temperature would effect the bubbles more than the warmer temperature but I proved myself wrong. The temperature had little effect on bubbles. I believe this happened because the bubbles are made so they stay in the air for as long as possible before oping and hitting the ground.
